The Singapore studio has spent years developing water rendering and naval gameplay systems on the Anvil engine \u2014 the same engine powering <em>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Shadows<\/em> \u2014 which makes Black Flag&#8217;s Caribbean world a natural fit for the team&#8217;s expertise.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ubisoft Singapore not only has a history of working on water tech through Anvil, we have a history with naval gameplay and stuff,&#8221; Creative Director Paul Fu told <a href=\"https:\/\/gameinformer.com\/2026\/05\/21\/ubisoft-singapore-on-why-assassins-creed-black-flag-resynced-is-ubisofts-first-ever\">Game Informer<\/a>. &#8220;When you put all those things together, it&#8217;s like, &#8216;Yeah, why not take a stab at it with Black Flag?&#8217; It actually makes a lot of sense to try.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Singapore leads a global co-development team spanning Ubisoft studios in Montreal, Barcelona, Belgrade, Bordeaux, Bucharest, Chengdu, Da Nang, India, Kyiv, Montpellier, Philippines, Quebec, Shanghai, and Sofia. The project puts Singapore at the creative centre of what is unambiguously a tentpole release for one of gaming&#8217;s biggest franchises.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PhQ3yQjUgAc\" title=\"Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced: Official Game Overview Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Assassin&#8217;s Creed Black Flag Resynced: Official Game Overview Trailer \u2014 via Assassin&#8217;s Creed on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Rebuilt Visuals \u2014 What the Anvil Engine Delivers<\/h2>\n<p>This is a ground-up rebuild, not a remaster. Ray-traced global illumination, micropolygon rendering, Atmos-driven dynamic weather, and modernised water physics replace the original&#8217;s 2013 visuals entirely. On PS5 three display modes are available: <strong>Performance<\/strong> (60fps, standard RT), <strong>Balance<\/strong> (40fps, enhanced RT), and <strong>High Quality<\/strong> (30fps, enhanced RT). PS5 Pro players get enhanced PSSR upscaling across all three. Xbox Series X matches the PS5 options; Xbox Series S runs at 30fps and 1620p. PC requires a 65 GB SSD and Windows 11, scaling from a GTX 1660 at 1080p\/30fps up to RTX 4090 for 4K\/60fps ultra.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/acbfr-inline1.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced \u2014 rebuilt visuals on PS5 and PC\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Ubisoft<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What&#8217;s New in Black Flag Resynced \u2014 Stealth, Combat and Naval<\/h2>\n<p>The remake adds substantive gameplay changes across the board. <strong>Stealth<\/strong> gets crouch-anywhere and dive-anywhere movement plus an observe mode for tagging enemies before moving in. <strong>Combat<\/strong> introduces a parry-driven system with new takedown animations. <strong>Naval combat<\/strong> expands with shrapnel barrels, 8-pounder cannons, new Jackdaw officers with special abilities, and a reworked Kenway&#8217;s Fleet for passive income generation. Ship customisation adds pets and skins to the Jackdaw.
